[QUOTE="Andrew Murray, post: 6551358"] Make sure the page size (when I say size, I mean the width of the screen - or the viewable 'portal' of the screen - the browser viewing area that displays the actual site) e.g. make sure your tables and so on are no wider than for example 770 pixels wide (by no means a definitive figure) on a 800x600 and 900-something on a 1024x 768 res. (these being the most common resolutions). That way you'll always get the site within the viewable area of the screen... anyway that's for starters, if any use a high resolution thatn 1024 x 768, maybe you can design a specific site for that size, and redirect the user using Javascript once it detects the screen size. You need to take into account that some screen space is taken up with the browser's tool bars, scroll bars etc, hence the 770px and 900-something px above. You can also build the layout in tables, and use percentages to define the widths of the tables, that way it will adjust to whatever screen resolution is being used. [/QUOTE]
